Bruce Tognazzini said, “The only intuitive interface is the nipple. Everything else is learned.” After watching a premature baby struggle to breastfeed, Bruce was wrong — there are no intuitive interfaces. Everything is learned.

In software UX the only ways to make intuitive-seeming interfaces are to borrow successful patterns from elsewhere. Then humans who have learned those interfaces will have skills transfer to your interfaces. This is why Apple, Microsoft, Google all have such rich and deep interface guidelines. They’re trying to teach you, the designer/developer, how to communicate with their users that have been trained on those interfaces.

Of course people can think their way through new things, or trial and error, but that’s not what we mean by “intuitive.” Intuition is rapid pattern-matching, and it only works when the new patterns are close enough to the old.

an unofficial ChatGPT API with simple agent-based functionality!
This API allows you to interact with ChatGPT programmatically, and I've built some cool agents on top of it. Check out the code and let me know what you think! :

ChatGPT unofficial API :

This project is a Node.js application that interacts with the ChatGPT conversational AI model using Puppeteer, a Node.js library for automating web browsers.

Files chatgptv1.js: This file contains the main logic for the ChatGPT bot, including methods for initializing the browser, sending messages, receiving replies, and handling errors.

bart.js: This file contains a function that uses the Cloudflare API to summarize the conversation history when an error occurs, in order to resume the conversation.

twochatbotsconv.js: This file is simple use of the API , which creates two instances of the ChatGPT class, initiates a conversation between them, and saves the conversation history to a file.

.env: This file contains the API token for the Cloudflare API, which is used in the bart.js file.

Dependencies :

puppeteer: A Node.js library for automating web browsers. fs: The built-in file system module in Node.js. winston: A logging library for Node.js. crypto: The built-in cryptography module in Node.js. axios: A popular HTTP client library for Node.js. dotenv: A zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file.

Usage:

Install the dependencies by running npm install in your project directory. Create a .env file in the project directory and add your Cloudflare API token:

API_TOKEN=YourfreeCloudFlareAPIToken In your code, create a new instance of the ChatGPT class and use the sendMessage and getReply methods to interact with the ChatGPT model:

const ChatGPT = require('./chatgptv1');

const chatgpt = new ChatGPT(); await chatgpt.initializeBrowser();

await chatgpt.sendMessage('Hello, ChatGPT!'); const reply = await chatgpt.getReply(); console.log(reply);

await chatgpt.closeBrowser(); If an error occurs during the conversation, the handleError method will attempt to save the conversation history and resume the conversation using the summarized context.

Before Running :

run Google chrom in the debug mode using 9220 port , run : google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222

Customization :

You can customize the behavior of the ChatGPT bot by passing options to the ChatGPT constructor:

chatbotUrl: The URL of the ChatGPT interface (default: 'https://chat.openai.com/'). headless: Whether to run the browser in headless mode (default: false). saveConversationCallback: A callback function that will be called with the conversation summary and the conversation file name when an error occurs.

Did the ad in fact talk about the VPN by itself, or in conjunction with the Mullvad Browser?

In any case we make the most important nuances clear on our landing page, and in other places on our website.
How did you get into this hobby and what does it take? Sounds amazing
In my experience, the chairs and how they’re built aren’t what adds to the price tag; the fact that an insurance company is paying is what is.

My daughter literally just got approved for a talking device that would otherwise cost us $4000. It’s a Samsung tablet with $300 software and an attached speaker and comes with some sort of repair agreement. I can buy and break 20 iPads for that price…and we did end up buying one with the software on its own.

If you want to know who’s causing waste, look to the ones who stand to benefit from it.
Anyone have any suggestions for youtube videos on breaking concrete? My kid has an upcoming TKD black belt test and the master said she can do the concrete if she wants, but doesn't have to (she's 10 and very small for her age). I've watched a few youtube videos about this, but all of the demonstrators are grown men, and the seem to jump and use their body weight as they're coming down.
Oh, woops. I thought the list went way higher, my bad.

I did read that I think if you do up to 2*ln(n)^2 you're always good, but that's not _that_ short of a list. Probably better off just keeping it probabalistic, negating my original post :(

The Civilisation Importance of Etienne-Louis Boullée
Weirdly, not really in the US. The regulations are all a little pointless because it's a "self-regulated" industry. Look at the cyber truck - stuck floor pedals and trunk closer that cuts off fingers, or trivial to clone car fobs.
The article and linked study provides no actual pollution data, and plenty of generalized-but-misleading data about "diesel trucks". Quotes from the study's author in the article seem to intentionally conflate the very clean small vans used by companies for deliveries with full-sized semi-tractors:

“They’re brought to your door generally by a truck that’s burning diesel, emitting harmful pollutants into the communities that it’s passing through.”

This is followed by a paragraph about the pollution caused by "diesel trucks", implying that the Ram Promaster that dropped off your cheerios is giving your kids asthma.

The study itself doesn't actually mention the delivery vehicles when talking about pollution, instead focusing on diesel-fueled freight trucks and buses (for... reasons?), and (correctly) points out that those vehicles are the ones causing the NOx and particulate pollution.

Sigh...

Okay, I understand. What do you mean by business partners? Did I mis something?
The Graphviz project often wished to find a convincing formal definition of what it means for curves (spline sequences) that connect two points and are routed around obstacles to be "natural". Maybe machine learning will help with this before long. Something similar could be said for other geometric properties of diagrams. Many aesthetics have been proposed and studied, but do we know what blend is preferred by human subjects? How much do individuals vary in this?

One can’t guess the successes. But you can eliminate the duds who won’t make it to a Series A.
It wasn’t so much the kiss; but the full interaction—it came up to me and wanted to see my son who was covered up in his stroller and not facing the enclosure, then it was seemingly satisfied with my reaction, and left.

Of course my dog will whine for food, or smack it’s water dish with her nose, but this felt much different akin to similar experiences I’ve had with strangers who smile and comment about how adorable my son was as an infant.
> it was just really heavy and cumbersome because it also had the mail client Communicator and the other stuff like the IRC client and it was very new, very raw, rough-edges software built on this new XPCOM stuff

The suite - Seamonkey - was/is heavy if all you used was the browser. If you compare it to running Firefox and Thunderbird together it actually was quite a bit leaner which is why I ran it for several years on lower-spec hardware.
Okay, I understand. What do you mean by business partners? Did I miss something?
Glad you mentioned this. Any conversation about batteries and minerals that mentions cobalt but not LFP is severely lacking.
I don't know the rationale, but I do know that in spite of what tech sites and their bands of commenters would have you believe Musk makes mostly rational decisions, often to a fault. The fault in this case being that if he feels your role is not directly contributing to an optimal outcome for the company, your job will be in jeopardy.

My immediate thought was that he sees that Tesla's Supercharger advantage is not going to improve enough to justify the large team. And the experience for Tesla owners is still likely to improve over time, even if Tesla is not expanding at the same rate: even though gas cars still rule, EVs now have a significant foothold, and the rate of 3rd party charger installations will continue to accelerate.

He also said they will continue to expand existing locations and will continue with installs at a slower rate. So that means either he didn't fire everyone or he has replacements in mind.

That's just my guess though, and in addition to my guess likely being flawed, the hypothetical rationale could be flawed too.

What you said about government decisions could be important too, but it seems strange to make such a drastic decision based on potential government action, especially with an election coming up that could turn the tables.
"...its Senior Leadership Team's pay partially dependent on whether the company is "meeting our security plans and milestones," though Bell didn't specify how much executive pay would be dependent on meeting those security goals."

What's the percentage? What are the milestones?

Edit: The "security plans and milestones" appear to be here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/05/03/sec...
In my only attempted road trip with my EV, the only charger available within any reasonable distance of our destination failed to charge the car due to a "firmware issue" that they had been aware of for quite some time but did not bother to fix. We were unable to charge there. Luckily, we had enough juice to make it back to the charging station at our halfway point by turning off the climate control.

So on a road trip that I only wanted to charge twice for, one of the stops didn't work. Oh, and on the way back we had to wait for access to the faster charger. Maybe not so overblown.
Wine and Cardiovascular Health: A Comprehensive Review (2017)
If they have plenty of food they wouldnt need to steal from animals that evolved specifically to kill them. If the cats were hungry enough often enough they would find 100% of the snacks.

After fasting for 3-5 days I have crazy focus, I see and hear everything. I also have aggresive tendencies that are totally alien to my normal personality. Punching an annoying coworker all of a sudden seemed like a perfectly normal response. He is always like that, it takes no effort to ignore it.
Your edit is roughly correct. It's a bit odd that they're comparing a single human-made policy with the very best of the DrEureka outputs; in practice, I would expect to make multiple different reward functions and then do validation on the functions and hyperparameters based on the resulting trained models. However, their comparison isn't necessarily wrong, since it seems (I could be wrong) that they used the reward function from prior papers in the field of policy learning.

If you're interested in methods for actually learning policies for these sorts of dynamic motions, note that this paper is simply applying proximal-policy optimization. They're pulling in the training and implementation methods from Margolis's [1] and Shan's [2] work.

So, in sum, the contribution of this paper is exclusively the method for generating reward functions (which is still pretty cool!!!!!), not all the learning-based policy stuff.

If these companies release with subpar products that fail to live up to the claims, all based on the hope they the backend that they don’t own will eventually get good enough… that seems like a recipe for failure. By the time it gets good enough, if it gets there, people and companies may have already rejected the whole concept due to too many false promises and burned bridges.
I wish there weren’t so many JSON path syntaxes. I’m comfortable with jq, then there’s JSON path, I forget which one AWS CLI is using, MySQL has their own. It’s impossible for me to get muscle memory with any of them.
"The advantage with Sodium Ion is that, although energy densities are lower than Lithium Ion, it could still be used to power mobile devices and electric vehicles."

It already does.

"Chinese automaker Yiwei debuted the first sodium-ion battery-powered car in 2023. It uses JAC Group’s UE module technology, which is similar to CATL's cell-to-pack design.[84] The car has a 23.2 kWh battery pack with a CLTC range of 230 kilometres (140 mi)"

Amusingly bluesky has the same style of (abusive) forced arbitration clause.
> Why shouldn’t I just ignore them if they ignore me?

Generally speaking, running a business is an exercise in pragmatism. Rejecting capital simply because they once slighted you is closer to a personal issue for a therapist than anything which belongs in the office. (Also, have you never heard of a happy couple who didn’t hit it off the first time they met?)
Because often you can’t easily get back “in less than a second” as a tab is the culmination of a large stack of combined thought+browsing.

I keep it open because I can more conveniently context-switch back to it when I need to, rather than attempt to retract my steps from a search query all over again.

An open tab is state in suspension - it’s sleep mode. A bookmark is hibernation.
We're getting drowned by security checklist by clients now.

A lot of them don't make much sense for us, we primarily make a Win32 B2B program hosted by these customers themselves and a lot of the checklists are all about more generic web SaaS things (because we charge like SaaS). But the person on the other end wants all the questions answered regardless.

Seems that as long as you can put a checkmark in a box that you follow various "best practices" and whatnot, actual details don't matter. You put a checkmark in a box, you did your best.
Thanks for the info. Just in case, I setup a script to send a daily mail to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com

Because you'll only need the grid backup like, what, a week or two in the worst case every two or three years? A LPG-powered vehicle will incur all the typical ICE vehicle costs during these three years.
If I buy something that's supposed to form the base of my own business including handling payments and data of my customers, I consider that a very serious, very important business partnership. So I will choose very carefully and behavior like this doesn't exactly make me confident in this choice.

Which is a pity because otherwise I'd be interested.
Personally I found a heating pad to really help for body aches.
> At that point you have a choice: fail, or build out where labor is cheap, workers are disposable and regulators are just low-cost party agents, and use your position as US company to readily import your foreign made products.

Why are any of us okay with humans being "disposable" anywhere on Earth?
This is something that we've discussed quite a bit and not completely off the table.
> but never cheap enough

Sure, if you ignore reliability the less-reliable options will look better. Going all in on solar and wind basically guarantees fifty years or more for at least one fossil fuel, gas in America and Europe and probably coal in Asia.

To be clear, I think we should be going full throttle on solar and wind. But we should also be building nuclear reactors and investing heavily in SMRs; if we can’t do that due to decades of nuclear fearmongering having gutted our industry, we should import them from China.
On HN, there are a lot of nuclear proponents. Any comments from them on this article? Just curiosity from me because I don't know much about this topic.
> to 80% again in 2min

Needs say 720kW delivery for those two minutes (need higher if counting inefficiency losses).

Note that Tesla 's V3 Superchargers provide a maximum of 250kW. I've assumed a 30kWh battery charged to 24kWh (80%), because the spec for a new Nissan Leaf is 59kWh battery for 385km driving range.
My old kenpo sensei used to say punching someone in the face is the last thing you want to do in a fight, since you're likely to do more damage to your hand than to your opponent. And most people don't know how to make a fist properly anyway.
Sorry you can't run. Best wishes.
The cycle life is not an issue with a battery made of seawater and dirt, because dirt is - cheap as dirt! Capacity comes from making an arbitrarily large such battery - it's not like it has to fit into a car.
They have gobs of hydro-electric power to start with!

CNN[1] also says that "Although April’s jobs numbers are sharply cooler than the upwardly revised 315,000 gains notched in March, they’re in line with what was seen pre-pandemic and the neutral rate of job growth to keep pace with population gains.".

Past HN discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20739535
There’s a lot of cargo-cult mimicry of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk that happens in terms of behavior.

But those guys were product people and to the extent that their low-empathy personalities were beneficial it’s in the fact that they cared about creating things far more than anything else, including other people or money. The phrase “artistic temperament” long predates them for a reason.

But it’s really absurd and counterproductive to try to mimic that personality if what you’re offering is anything other than being the corporate version of an auteur, and if that’s what you were you wouldn’t be mimicking anyone, and you better produce some stunningly consistent results. Lots of these guys think they’re being uncompromising about “their vision” when it’s really just “their vision” of their spot on the Forbes list.

New York is better in part, I would guess, because there’s no false premise that the investor is doing anything other than acting as a conduit for capital. There’s egos too but no one is trying to live up to the standard of “changing the world” or “innovating” or being “the next ___.”

It probably also helps that Warren Buffet is the most successful traditional investor of all time and a model of good behavior.
That's how you know it's working as intended!

You are correct. To me, consciousness and awareness are interchangeable.
I've always found these articles about China adopting green policies and shifting its industries towards green energy sources to be suspicious. If they were true then why are China's emission ever increasing year after year: https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/china

If their share of renewables / nuclear energy were increasing then there would be a decrease in C02 emissions per capita, but that has never been the case even with the increase in announcements in "green" mega projects over the years.
